Dear conservative and liberal friends and all candidates for office:
Insults are easy.
Critical thinking requires work.
Dismissing people for their color or gender negates civil debate.

Dear fellow stewards of God’s beautiful world,
May we please care for the earth without worshiping her?
May we redeem our environmental mistakes without destroying economic progress?
Can you partner with me for sane policies that are not a veil for massive coerced redistribution of wealth that destroys productivity and subverts human flourishing?

Politics.
Terrorism.
Financial stress globally and personally.
Culture wars gone mad (Bathrooms, really?)

Election 2016. A lament.
It is not just a challenge to party elites.
It is a referendum on our character.

America’s future does not rest with the next President, Congress or Supreme Court.
